[Metadatalibrarians] platforms for ETDs

[Andrew Rouner]

Greetings!
At the Washington University Libraries (St.L.) were are (finally) planning
to transition to receiving dissertations and theses exclusively in
electronic format, and we're starting to look at platforms for delivering
them.  I'm obviously only at the very beginning of looking into this, and
we're looking at the usual suspects (DSpace and FEDORA).  I'd be really
interested to hear back from anyone on the list who has an ETD collection
and can provide feedback on:

   - what platform you're using
   - what additional software you're running on top of the platform for this
   purpose
   - if you're satisfied with what you have now
   - if you have any good resource pages to point to for evaluating
   platforms, best practices etc.

Thanks in advance,

Andrew
